First year open day

Everyone remembers the first day they walked through the doors of their future firm. For many of our lawyers, that happens on our First Year Open Day, a day designed to give you a taste of life at a global law firm. This is a great opportunity to make a first impression, talk to our trainees, partners, and early careers team, and learn about the culture of Norton Rose Fulbright, determining if law is the career for you
